If you are a non-EU citizen who want to work in Poland, you must first obtain a work permit. The work permit you receive is only good for one job, and you can only use it to complete the duties listed on your application form. You will need to apply for a new work permit if you change jobs. A work permit is only valid for three years.

The country has job opportunities in the construction, business, distribution and transport sectors.

There are five different types of work visas available in Poland:

Type A - If you find work through an employment contract or a civil law contract with an employer who has a Polish office. This is the most common work permit.

Type B - This work visa is valid if you are a board member who will be residing in Poland for a total of more than 6 months in the next 12 months.

Type C - If you are sent to Poland by a foreign employer for more than 30 days in a calendar year to work for the foreign employer's subsidiary or branch office in the country, you can apply for this work visa.

Type D - If a foreign employer sends you to work in export services on a temporary basis, you are qualified for this visa. A foreign employer may not have its own branch or subsidiary in Poland.

Type E — This visa is for work-related tasks that do not fall into any of the above categories.

Your employer is responsible for obtaining a work permit on your behalf. Assume you've found a willing employer and your stay has been legalized (either on the basis of a visa you have obtained or on the basis of a residence permit). To obtain a work visa, your potential employer must complete a work permit application that includes the name of the firm you are recruiting for as well as your future job description within this company.

 If you are offered a job in Poland, your company is responsible for obtaining a work permit on your behalf.
